BREAKING NEWS IN ARKANSAS!

EDITED TO ADD: KRIS ALLEN IS FROM CONWAY, ARKANSAS. ARKANSAS IS MY HOME STATE, BUT CONWAY IS NOT MY HOME TOWN. GUEST REPORTER, SUSIE, IS FROM CONWAY.~~~~~~~~~~

JUST A NOTE FROM ME: I just want to thank all of you who left such wonderful comments on my blog posting yesterday. My friend, Cindy, at Sisterhood of the Creative Hearts, has a fabulous term for what I did on my blog yesterday. She calls it "heart plopping". I think she coined that term just for me, because I've done a lot of heart plopping on her! I did some huge heart plopping on my blog yesterday, and you responded with "heart plopping" comments. (You kept me in tears most of the day-but they were good tears!) I am so grateful for having found this corner of Blogville. Thank you for letting me do my heart plopping, and thank you for being such wonderful and kind people. laurie

Hi Laurie,You are so creative girl!I just giggled when I saw your comments on my blog today! I love it~ Our local Craigs List doesn't have much either, so I just look on the Twin Cities one. We are about 2 hours from there and it has been worth my drive. HeHe. I love Kris, I do I do however my sweet friend, Danny is from Wisconsin and I love him too. I will be watching of course, my hubby is a big AI fan. Laurie, your notes back have meant so much to me, I'm so glad I found you as a friend. That's what blogging is at it's best, making new friends.LOVE Ya, Cindy

oh my goodness this was the CUTEST post EVER!!! lol GREAT job too! :) i do watch the show but have never voted. (slapping hand) "Bad bad girl" hehe i really think all three left (heck EVEN Alison) have AWESOME talent!!! Thank you so much for sharing!! Have a TERRIFIC day!! :)

Thank you SO much for visiting my blog, and the incredibly sweet words you gifted me with!!! I SO want to sit and leisurely enjoy your blog, but daily duties call. I am definitely going to come back tonight after the kiddos are in bed so I can spend some quality time. I can tell already I'm gonna LOVE it!!!

Oh Laurie, what a cute post! I wasn't even going to blog b/c I am up to my neck with work but I had to see this. I have been babysitting Brendan and when he naps, I work on the wedding party favors. Wedding is this Sun. so can't put off the work much longer. I am glad I did not miss this breaking news though! Good luck to your star!...Christine

Heart Plops! Now isn't THAT a cool word and feeling! Really enjoyed you cute, clever post and can't wait to watch IDOL tonight! I LOVE Kris....he's awesome....and no matter what happens with AI...he'll be a star. And it's SO great that he's so spiritual and a good Christian. :)PS: I was Sort of near you this weekend. I went with a friend to visit her Mother in Mena, AR. :) Had a blast...and loved Arkansas!

It's gone full circle. My friend is so delighted to have his work, as he puts it, "out in cyberspace now with his wife. His friends are emailing me now and are thrilled they have these memories of her. We are meeting in our hometown next Wed. with another gal who was one of my best friends.I hope he gets a chance to talk !!!!! Thanks for your comment.

Lauarie--I must be losing it. I watched at 7 also! Kris feels like my hometown boy now (I'm from TN). He was fabulous with the song of his choice! I also read yesterday'spost. In my opinion, you and your adopted mom both got "special" people in the adoption!

LaurieWhen I watch Idol and Kris comes on and they announce he is from Arkansas...I get sooo pround..*s*...because I "know" someone in Arkansas where Kris is from. Isn't he great? He was so good tonight...loved it. He seems like such a nice young man too. He'll do good no matter how he places.thank you for sharing this really fun post! You did such a great job.Judi

Hi Laurie, I do love Kris Allen. He is so talented, good looking and you can tell he is deep down nice. It's nice reading he is a Christian too. He's got it all! He did great last night!

Oh how I loved reading about your mother! And oh how I loved reading about you and your sister and your childhood. Thank you for sharing all of that with us. My, your mother was indeed a very, very special lady. I just smiled through the tears as I read more and more about her. I'm sure she passed on many, many of her great traits to you and your sister.

Laurie, I wanted to tell you I often times try and comment and can't get the comment box to open up! Does anyone else tell you this or is it just me? I have had it happen several times but today it opened right up. I do read your great blog often and sorry I don't always comment.

Just read your sweet note about my little bunny...using one of those wire card holders is a great idea, my friend!!! I've actually been looking for one of those for sometime...to display some of my vintage cards but haven't run into one. But you're right, I think it would work perfect!!! Thanks for the idea!!!

Darlin'...I hate to admit it but I don't follow American Idol. But your Chris from Arkansas sure is a cutie, isn't he? This was such a cute and creative post...I love it!!!

Wanted to let you know that I'm going out of town this weekend but I'm still planning on doing Sunday Favorites. I already have my post together for it and I'm crossing my fingers that it will publish Saturday at 4pm like I told it to! Hehe!!! We're going to a car show and really looking forward to it! Not to mention that this little town where the car show is...they do a community wide yard sale on Saturday...yeeehawww!!! Hope they have some good stuff! Hehe!!!

Your last post made me tear up. You know, I love my mom, but being my real mom doesn't mean that she was more loving than yours. I'm insecure because I was told I couldn't and it's taken me years to know that I can. Your mom was a wonderful mother and she raised a fantastically talented and beautiful daughter.
